Thousands march near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Fla.

The march was mostly peaceful. Some Trump supporters stood on the sidelines holding pro-Trump signs, often times yelling at the marchers, who then shouted back. A woman stuck her head out of a moving car and yelled “Trump.”

Trump supporter Elijah Inchauteguiz, 18, said marchers “just don’t make much sense.” He said he disagreed with protesters’ opposition to Trump’s ban on the entry of citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries. He said that’s temporary and the U.S. government should know who is entering the country. A judge on Friday temporarily blocked the order and the Trump administration Saturday night filed papers announcing it plans to challenge the decision.

 The idea of the march came initially from a local activist called Stephen Milo, who then canceled the event, citing safety concerns. The groups South Florida Activism and Women’s March Florida Palm Beach County chapter picked up the reins. A Facebook event showed that 1,700 planned to attend, but organizers said Saturday they thought more showed up.U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., was among them.

“This is a respectful demonstration and it’s going on all around the country,” she said. “There are some things that the president has done the last 14 days that are making people very anxious, and they are here to show it.”
